Treasurer Moore has been sitting this
week at the places appointed receiving
taxes. Many persons who did not COME
forward last year in time to procure the
largest discount are doing so this. On the
other hand some who had paid last yea
have not yet done so. 1t is thought they
are holding off until the last day. They
should not do this however as owing to thu
limited clerical force at the commissioner:
office it Is probable that with the rush tina
there is usually on that day that all couI,
not be attended to. If yon want 20 gel tht
five per cent discount, do mo-
leave off paying your taxes until the lts
day advertised.
